accessories » Any experts on dismantling panniers/locks?

I'm currently rekeying a set of OEM luggage for my new RS. I've had no difficulty with the actual process of fiddling with the lock barrels, swapping the blades round etc; it's the reassembly process which is causing me grief. When the pannier's back together, when I tug the grey lever which should open the case, only one of the two catches disengages properly, and I've had a hell of a job prising the case open without damaging it. The problem is evidently that the metal locking pin (indicated by the pencil) is not moving quite far enough to release the lug on the lid... it needs to move outwards (ie, downwards in my photo); and it's doing that but just moving not far enough. Having taken the whole lock apart again everything appears to assembled and lined up correctly, and there's nothing to adjust as far as I can see.

Anybody else experienced this?

I've had mine re coded at williams in Manchester the first time one of the pannier locks stuck open when i removed it from the bike. I managed to fix it but it again stuck open when removed.
I ended up buying a new latch mechanism which williams fitted. All free of charge.
It may be worth a visit the chap on the service counter was extremely helpful.
